I agree with you 100%, Ric! I remember when I first started out in Linux in 1997: I got roasted on the Slackware newsgroup for asking a question about DNS, and was told to RTFM, and a lot of people just jumped in and decided to have a go at me. Well, needless to say, that scared me off
Even if appropriate, RTFM need only be uttered once per question, though parallel responses might cause others. Sometimes a correct response to RTFM is "Where is TFM?".
RTFM is a good thing. It was only after reading the book by Cricket Liu and Paul Albitz, and the howto by Nicolas Langfeldt that I finally learned to setup primary, secondary and caching DNS servers.
